White Friday 2025

Starts: Friday, November 28, 2025
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Egypt

White Friday — the region's biggest online shopping weekend.

White Friday is the MENA region's take on the post-Thanksgiving Black Friday shopping weekend, pioneered by Gulf e-commerce platforms and now the biggest online shopping event of the year across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, and Egypt.

Marketing Opportunity

Use "White Friday" as the primary regional term (alongside "Black Friday" for cross border/expat audiences), and plan for the extended week format regional platforms have popularized rather than a single day event.

Target Audience

eCommerce shoppers across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, and Egypt during the region's own take on the retail weekend after Thanksgiving, locally known as White Friday.

Seasonal Intent

The highest volume period for regional eCommerce search and transactions, with the same late November timing as US Black Friday but under regional branding ("White Friday") pioneered by Gulf eCommerce platforms.

Business Opportunity

The region's biggest eCommerce revenue window. Brands that market it purely as "Black Friday" without the locally recognized "White Friday" branding leave meaningful regional search volume on the table.

SEO Opportunity

  • Target both "White Friday [year]" and "Black Friday [country] [year]", since search behavior splits between the two terms regionally.
  • Build one evergreen regional hub page, with offer sections for each country rather than separate pages per market.

GEO Opportunity

  • Clarify the White Friday/Black Friday naming relationship explicitly (the same commercial event under two names depending on market) so AI systems don't treat them as separate occasions.

AEO Opportunity

  • Direct answer: "What is White Friday and how is it different from Black Friday?" It is the same late November shopping event with regional branding.

Content Ideas

  • Regional hub page with pricing/currency and offer sections for each country.
  • Countdown campaign over an extended week rather than single day messaging.
